Upon hearing this, a gasp of suppressed astonishment swept through the prison, and some couldn't help but cry and kneel, kowtowing several times to the young man cloaked in black robes.
"Thank you, hero!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Zhu Haomiao methodically opened each cell, finally finding the room where Liu Heng and others were held.
Seeing their bodies covered in scars and their dejected state, clearly having suffered greatly, Zhu Haomiao sighed inwardly.
It seems a thousand taels of silver is not enough...
"Thank you, benefactor."
As Liu Heng struggled to stand and was about to bow, Zhu Haomiao supported him, slightly lifting his head to reveal half of his face hidden under the hood.
In the dim light, Liu Heng could discern the youthful face of the other, his heart shook violently.
"Zhu..."
"Shh."
With a gesture, Zhu Haomiao swiftly released all the prisoners, then led Liu Heng and a few others out of the dungeon.
